Palau de la Generalitat

After leaving the Cathedral, I was also in awe of the beauty of the architecture of the Palau de la Generalitat.  Since 1403, it has been the seat of the Catalonian Governor.


The entrance has a Renaissance facade.  Above the doorway is a statue of Sant Jordi (St. George) -- the patron saint of Catalonia -- and the Dragon.

This exquisite piece of architecture below is on El Carrer del Bisbe, a very beautiful street in the Gothic Quarter.
